eli5: why are endangered native bees such a threat?

99 viewsBiologyOther

Since we have so many honeybees, why does it matter that native bee populations are endangered? I’m not sure if this is true, but bee predators don’t really care about bee species right? They just eat whatever bees they can find. And since bees all pollinate, shouldn’t it be fine that some bee species are dying out?

All bees pollinate, but no bees pollinate all things, and native bees pollinate a lot more native plants than invasive bees.
